All I know is that two years ago when i went to Washington to cover the
United Council's efforts with legislators, Kasten's office was the only one
that wouldn't make a concrete statement of effort to increase the grant
portion of grant:loan student supplements. They wouldn't make an
affirmative statement on funding for post-secondary funding at all, for
that matter. Kasten didn't even meet with us; he sent an aide, who 
patiently explained that there were already commitments made to defense
interests.

On the other hand, he sent us all nice letters thanking us for stopping in.


Vote like a Democrate with manners of a Republican. Yeah.
